The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Marks: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Woody Marks slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 25. Highway robbery.
Noel has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Their trades came out a wash either way.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Noel in pick 63 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to No. 127. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at the 243rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
